Inheritance diagram for AnyMap:

Detailed Description

A map of string keys to values whose type can vary at runtime.

Values in an AnyMap are held by instances of AnyValue. Instances of AnyMap can be nested to form a tree.

Setting elements

AnyMap breakfast;
breakfast["spam"] = 123.4; // Creates a value of type 'double'
breakfast["eggs"] = "scrambled"; // Creates a value of type 'string'
 
// Create a nested AnyMap named "beans" which has a key named "baked"
// whose value is a vector<double>
vector<double> v{3.14, 1.59, 2.65};
breakfast["beans"]["baked"] = v;
 
// Create a nested AnyMap with values of the same type
map<string, double> breads{{"wheat", 4.0}, {"white", 2.5}};
breakfast["toast"] = breads;
// Equivalent to:
breakfast["toast"]["wheat"] = 4.0
breakfast["toast"]["white"] = 2.5

Accessing elements

double val1 = breakfast["spam"].asDouble();
string val2 = breakfast["eggs"].asString();
vector<double> val3 = breakfast["beans"]["baked"].asVector<double>();
 
map<string, double> = breakfast["toast"].asMap<double>();

Checking for elements

try {
    breakfast["waffle"].asDouble();
} except (std::exception& err) {
    // Exception will be thrown.
    // 'breakfast' will have an empty key named 'waffle' unless 'breakfast'
    // is a 'const AnyMap'.
}
 
try {
    breakfast.at("grits").asDouble();
} except (std::exception& err) {
    // Exception will be thrown and no new key will be added
}
 
if (breakfast.hasKey("grits")) {
    // do something with this entry
}

Checking element types

if (breakfast["sausage"].is<vector<double>>()) {
    // access using asVector<double>
} else if (breakfast["sausage"].type() == typeid(vector<string>)) {
    // access using asVector<string>
}

void applyUnits ( )

Use the supplied UnitSystem to set the default units, and recursively process overrides from nodes named units.

If a units node is present in a map that contains other keys, the specified units are taken to be the defaults for that map. If the map contains only a units node, and is the first item in a list of maps, then the specified units are taken to be the defaults for all the maps in the list.

After being processed, the units nodes are removed. This function is called automatically by the fromYamlFile() and fromYamlString() constructors.

Warning: This function is an experimental part of the Cantera API and may be changed or removed without notice.

Definition at line 1693 of file AnyMap.cpp.

◆ applyUnits() [2/2]

See applyUnits()

Definition at line 1698 of file AnyMap.cpp.

◆ setUnits()

void setUnits ( const UnitSystem & units )

Definition at line 1714 of file AnyMap.cpp.

◆ setFlowStyle()

void setFlowStyle ( bool flow = true )

Definition at line 1726 of file AnyMap.cpp.

◆ addOrderingRules()

bool addOrderingRules	(	const string &	objectType,
		const vector< vector< string > > &	specs
	)

static

Add global rules for setting the order of elements when outputting AnyMap objects to YAML.

Enables specifying keys that should appear at either the beginning or end of the generated YAML mapping. Only programmatically-added keys are rearranged. Keys which come from YAML input retain their existing ordering, and are output after programmatically-added keys.

This function should be called exactly once for any given spec that is to be added. To facilitate this, the method returns a bool so that it can be called as part of initializing a static variable. To avoid spurious compiler warnings about unused variables, the following structure can be used:

static bool reg = AnyMap::addOrderingRules("Reaction",
        {{"head", "equation"}, {"tail", "duplicate"}});
if (reg) {
    reactionMap["__type__"] = "Reaction";
}

Parameters

objectType	Apply rules to maps where the hidden `__type__` key has the corresponding value.
specs	A list of rule specifications. Each rule consists of two strings. The first string is either "head" or "tail", and the second string is the name of a key

Returns: true, to facilitate static initialization

Definition at line 1730 of file AnyMap.cpp.

◆ clearCachedFile()

void clearCachedFile ( const string & filename )

static

Remove the specified file from the input cache if it is present.
